what impressed you about it?
This stunning issue of the critically acclaimed hit maxiseries reveals the secrets behind Dr. Manhattan and his connection to the DC Universe.
It's been months since the last issue, but Doomsday Clock #10 is finally here and it's the biggest issue yet in terms of revealing Dr. Manhattan's role in changing the DC Universe. Read Full Review
Geoff Johns is taking his time and delivering a book that in unlike any other. This issue contains some moments I've waited years to see and I wasn't disappointed. Doomsday Clock is worth the wait! Read Full Review
This issue has gone a long way in giving some credibility to the storytelling of this run. With Johns essentially giving reasons for all the reboots and crises there may be bigger implications yet to come. With #11 due in July, the final issue should be out September time. By which point, we will be in the midst of Leviathan and the Year of the Villain. With that in mind, I am curious to see what ramifications, if any, The Doomsday Clock will have on the DC universe.

With two issues to go, I don't know the last time I've been this enthralled by a comic book event. Read Full Review
I cannot recommend this title enough. I think this title would be equally impressive to new and old fans alike. It is laced with DC history for the veteran fans, but it is presented in such a way that even the newest reader can get pulled in. Read Full Review
With only two issues remaining I remain absolutely spellbound. While it may not be the groundbreaking literary masterpiece that the original Watchmen was, this series is still amongst the finest comics titles being produced today. In terms of how readers view the entire history of the DC Multiverse, however, this incredible story will rank as one of the most important and pivotal of them all. Yes, Crisis On Infinite Earths included. The secrets revealed in Doomsday Clock #10 have made an old fan very, very happy. Read Full Review
Doomsday Clock #10 feels like a bolt of lightning to the series as it reaches its conclusion. The focus on Manhattan's point of view and emphasis on what makes Superman such a strong pillar of the universe is something Johns examines very well. He very much understands who these characters are and the impacts they have on the rest of the world. Frank's pencils and Anderson's colours elevate the story with their stellar visuals, creating the best looking issue of the series to date. With two issues to go, Johns, Frank and Anderson look like they'll deliver something special and worthy of all the delays. Read Full Review
Doomsday Clock #10re-evaluates everything we thought we knew about the DC Universe. A must read issue from Geoff Johns and Gary Frank. Read Full Review
From the first issue of Action Comics to Post Crisis Man of Steel, down to Johns and Franks own Secret Origin and through the New 52, this issue is able to take on the publishers continuity changes of Superman and the DCU in such a meaningful and inspired manner. The exploration of the universe through meta-commentary attached to the creative changes through the years is another brilliance of Johns. By far his most inspired work to date with this series, bailing an absolute must read with this brand new chapter. Read Full Review
Doomsday Clock continues to shake things up in the best possible way as we see Doctor Manhattan's work on the DC Universe. Read Full Review
You're either reading this book or you are definitely not reading this book. Regardless, it has fantastic artwork and a really wonderful way of commenting upon the past (or is it current?) state of the DC Universe. If they can stick the landing, this might end up being a really, really interesting read. Read Full Review
Doomsday Clock #10 answers so many questions regarding the DC Universe and Dr. Manhattan's place in it and does so in an incredible way. Despite the long waits between each issue, Geoff Johns and Gary Frank still have me excited and intrigued every time a new issue is released. This one especially does not disappoint. Read Full Review
Doomsday Clock has really been firing on all cylinders and as the clock ticks down to the end of the series, the magnitude of the story gets bigger and bigger and I'm having the time of my life reading about it. The artwork is amazing and the story-telling is second level in making sure that everything feels right and true on a cosmic and meta scale. I love this series. Read Full Review
An issue that is filled with answers and fulfilling revelations. It gives the series as a whole purpose, connecting the bigger DC universe with Dr. Manhattan as well as supplying perspective that enriches everything. I only wish this chapter came much earlier. Read Full Review
The issue is an amazing one and what the series, and DC Rebirth, have been building up to. The reveals pay off and the concepts that Johns introduces are ones that are unique and deliver an energy that takes a bumpy maxiseries and makes it really pay off and worth it. This is how you begin to stick the landing and hopefully the next two final issues do exactly that. Read Full Review
I can't say enough good things about this book or this series. While I'm down that it has to come to an end, I've loved the journey to get here. With two issue left, we still have more to cover and I can't wait! Read Full Review
Doomsday Clock #10 pushes the series to new heights as it addresses some of the most burning questions of DC Rebirth. Read Full Review
"Doomsday Clock" #10 does not shy away from its importance and from the topics it wants to discuss, rising admirably to the occasion. Read Full Review
Overall: Doomsday Clock #10 is another beautifully written and drawn issue. It is obvious how Johns and Frank have poured their hearts and souls into this title. It is rare to see a comic book where the creative team has so clearly given their absolute best effort in every single page. If you still have not jumped aboard Doomsday Clock then you absolutely need to read this big event when it comes out in trade format. Read Full Review
There's two issues left, and lots of ground to cover, so we'll see where it all goes from here (and the ultimate impact on DC - if any). Read Full Review
The next installment arrives in the middle of August 2019 and I already feel like I'll forget most of this and what it's trying to accomplish. Which is unfortunate as while there are things that bother me with what's done here I appreciate the way it's trying to step back just a bit further in regards to the structure of the DC universe and show how it's shaped more. It fits into that neat inner workings aspect that made Crisis so engaging back in the 80s and revisiting it in different forms in the decades since. This is a fascinating issue with a lot of neat ideas in it, beautifully illustrated as expected, but it still leaves me with that core question; does it matter and will they do anything with it? Read Full Review
We got a brief chance to catch our breath this issue, but it looks like it is going to be an all-out sprint to the finish for the last two issues. I wonder if this issue with Doctor Manhattan with its interiority gives us too much of what to expect in the finale or if Johns and Frank still have some surprises for us. Read Full Review
Gary Frank's and Brad Anderson's art is as impressive as ever and Johns' frame story " a Film Noir movie about a double-crossed detective " is engaging on its own, even outside of the cosmic shenanigans and the meta-narrative. Though it remains to be seen if this series will become a standard, it is an interesting read. Read Full Review
The story itself is strong, with a lot of moments that will leave fans guessing at what's next. Read Full Review
While the quality of Doomsday Clock never fails to reach high levels, the premise and the conduction are beginning to stretch themselves a little thin. Read Full Review
Not perfect by a sight, but Doomsday Clock #10 could signal an upswing for the series. By delving deep into DC history and showing some of their cards, Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, and Brad Anderson provide a solid return for the beleaguered limited series — here’s hoping they can only capitalize on it to stick the landing. Read Full Review
If you're a die-hard fan of DC, then Doomsday Clock #10 may be just what you wanted. Read Full Review
This issue still has some of the same problems of motivation and necessity that have plagued the book since issue #1, but we finally seem to be getting somewhere, and the Carver Colman sequences are actually really interesting. Read Full Review
A slowburn of a beginning turns into a rollicking celebration of Superman. Johns' pacing in the first half of the issue is possibly the weakest it's been this whole series, with a lot of attention paid to a person who works better as a plot device than as an actual character. Once things get going, though, it turns into a fascinating meditation on Superman's influence in the real world and on the printed page. A few gaffes and the slow start keep this from outright greatness, but the focus on hope and the gorgeous art throughout make it all worth it. Read Full Review
This is a title worth reading!!
Very impressive issue!
A great comic Johns always seems to deliver.
I am without words. This story will be remembered for many years to come, and I can only be happy that I am present to see it through.
My only complaint would be its lack of mentioning Jor-El/Mr Oz at all. They probably won't due to Bendis using him for his Superman run, but I can only hope.
This issue redefined the history of Superman and was fantastic from start to finish.
This is amazing. It's definitely worth the wait.
Perfect issue, and finally Superman as the center of DC Universe. I hope issue 12 comes out in september.
This was really great. I wish this maxiseries wasn't so schizophrenic in quality. If every issue was like this one, or issue 8, I'd love it.
I need a Nathaniel Dusk series drawn by Gary Frank ASAP!!
Everything I wanted from this series. I love that last page!
How awesome it is😍!
We are witnessing something very special
Amazing.
It's the best comicbook issue i read in a while..
What a great issue
This series has been hitting on all cylinders, well worth the wait.
Wow, just wow.
This issue doesn’t continue the storyline line in a “horizontal” way. It isn’t the continuing of what we’ve seen in the 9th issue of this series. This issue is the direct continuing of “DC universe Rebirth” by Johns.
You want to know why of some missing in the new52? Here is the answer. This is a masterclass series done by an author that knows the continuity very well, I can’t think at another series with so much love for this characters and their continuity. Johns here changes, again, his storytelling, if in the last 2 issues were less compressed than the others this returns to a more compressed storytelling.
What a series.
This was breath-taking
Oh man, what Johns does with this issue is just beautiful, I mean, first, Superman fans have to be happy because in this issue Johns places Superman at the center of the DC Universe and I like that because he deserves that type of attention and fits very well with the story and second, well, the way Johns begins to explain the new 52 reality and all other changes is just awesome. Gary Frank artwork as always is great.
Absolute masterpiece.
That’s how a comic should be written. Loved it.
Masterpiece.
Maybe the bes issue yet. The story is amazing. Johns is at his best here.
No words can describe how amazing this issue is!!!
Spoiler-Free Review
Wally West said--in the DC Rebirth one-shot special--that "there's going to be a war between hope and despair. Love and apathy. Faith and disbelief." The last three issues of Doomsday Clock, I think, are going touch on that war, that conversation (finally). After the epic battle that took place in Doomsday Clock #9, it seems fitting now to tackle the very essence of what DC stands for--which isn't a splash page of heroes fighting villains but a conversation of those things that Wally mentioned at the end of the Rebirth one-shot. This issue in particular touches on the topic of "hope versus despair." And it becomes apparent with the JSA (who represent hope) now in the mix, but (as you can see in the variant cov more
A fabulous issue from an interesting yet delayed comic series.
It was so worth the wait. Everything that was said about this issue is absolutely true, it sure is a masterpiece. This will read even better in a collected edition. I cannot wait for the next issue, which is due sometime next year.
This issue is an absolute feat - it deals with continuity without getting too self-referential/self-absorbed. Johns' conceptualization of the DCU is brilliant. I like everyone else have a comment about the delays - this makes the books that HAVE to come out biweekly/monthly more impressive, because a lot of work goes into that schedule, regardless of ultimate quality. AND it makes Watchmen seem even more impressive.
There's a panel paying homage to the cover of new 52 Action #5. Damn, that put a smile on my face. Doomsday Clock gets wonderfly meta this issue.
"I know what you did"
A masterpiece in the very long and painfully slow making. Even so, every issue of this maxiseries makes me more excited than any big comic book crossover event.
This issue is Dr. Manhattan's show. We see how he got to this "crazy" universe, how he tried to understand it's inner workings and how he finally got down to the meddling. All the whys and all the hows.
The writing here is incredible. Each word feels like it's handcrafted and couldn't be replaced with another (no, I am not exaggerating). The concept of "the metaverse" really resonated with me, as this malleable, ever-changing construct that even god-like Manhattan can't control forever, and that Superman is at the very center of more
Purchase the variant cover it is superior to the main one.
Definitely worth the long wait. In this issue Dr. Manhatten‘s motivations& how he changed the DC universe finally gets fully explained& it makes a lot of sense for his character. Johns does a great job writing his character (I don’t understand why he doesn’t always with other characters. If Johns respected all characters like he did with Watchmen characters he would be a top writer) & there is nothing I could complain about. I only hope Dr. Manhattan doesn’t get killed in the end or becomes human again. I also honestly don’t want another timeline reboot, since writers won’t be suddenly become better. .
Anyway a must read for every DC fan.
MINOR SPOILERS BELOW
THE GOOD:
-This was an awesome, modern-classic feeling issue.
-I loved the opening sequence.
-Doctor Manhattan's narration was really good.
-The art is still great.
-The whole Superman story is truly fantastic. One of the best parts of the issue, if you ask me.
-Man, Geoff Johns just killed it with the DC continuity, nostalgia and history, and his script as well. I've always had mixed feelings about Johns, but this is good stuff.
-This is just such a perfect explanation for the constant reboots and such that DC has.
-The whole concept of a Metaverse that the multiverse revolves around is great.
-That end more
I don't want to sound rude because this is a nice issue but I think I need to say it: Look! we have a series named doomsday clock! It's kind underrated and unpopular; it's like it doesn't get the attention it deserves which is a sad thing *sigh*.
There's a lot to comprehend here, and as much as I loved this comic, I feel like I should start with an honest warning - it's dense and in order to fully understand it, you should know a thing or two about DC Comics. Not that a comic newbie wouldn't be able to read and enjoy it, but it really helps if you've read Watchmen (if not, what are you doing with your life?!), heard of JSA before, or are familiar with some of Superman's origin stories.
It's a slowr read, requiring focus and attention, but I think there's no other way Johns could have explained how exactly DC universe works, and how/why it changed throughout the years. We, fans, have taken for granted all these continuity shifts and retcons, and accepted them without reall more
Sometimes annoying to read and leans way too hard on that time jump narrative device, but I am deeply appreciative of the explanations of time and universe changes.
